Does it worry anyone that Ubuntu is becoming unpopular?

This has been my 'go-to' for Ubuntu popularity over the last few years. Now it seems the last time it was this unpopular was way back in 2007.

Maybe it's because Windows 7 perhaps leapt ahead in usability, and the whole infrastructure of Linux is fading into obscurity, to be replaced by things built on top, like Android and Chrome OS. I admit, the last time I used Ubuntu on my machines was over 2 months ago.

Actually windows 7 is not very popular either. Most windows users still use XP and will probably stick to it for quite a while. This is actually a problem for M$.

Considering each release of Ubuntu breaks something, I can see why it would be becoming unpopular to some people.

New releases are always buggy, the same goes with Windows, that's why you shouldn't get the new release until later to wait for the bugs to be fixed unless you want to participate in bug testing,--which is a valuable service and you don't have to pay to be a genuine pig like in Windows.

No, if you look at the chart it's bouncing up and down a lot. There are peaks, then it dies down a bit, then another peak etc. The Linux one is a bit worrying though. I wouldn't take it that seriously, it's just a Google result.
